IPL 2020: 3 overseas players Kings XI Punjab should consider in the upcoming auction

#3 Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell

The presence of Glenn Maxwell in any team instills instant fear in the minds of the opposition. Maxwell was a part of the Kings outfit from the years 2014-2017 before being released to play for Delhi Capitals in the year 2018.

He withdrew his name from the 2019 auction to prepare for the World Cup. Maxwell will be on the radar of many teams for the upcoming season of the IPL.

The Australian all-rounder scored 552 runs at a strike rate of 187.75 in 2014, and led the Kings to the final. But he could score just 145 and 179 runs in the next two seasons, and struggled to get going in the middle.

The 2018 season saw Maxwell back in form again; he scored 310 runs at an impressive strike rate. Maxwell can be a useful bowler too, and can pick up vital wickets in the middle orders.

Considering Maxwell has spent four years with the Kings, the management would do well to have him back in the scheme of things. Maxwell has opened the batting in T20 internationals for Australia in the past, and can be considered as a opening partner for Chris Gayle in the upcoming season.

Gayle and Maxwell at the top of the order would be a deadly combination, and a nightmare for any opposition.

Maxwell can replace David Miller, who struggled to get going in the 2019 IPL. Miller played just 10 games in the last season and scored only 213 runs.

Maxwell will be a great addition to the Kings outfit, who would be looking to win their maiden title in 2020.
